n_, you shan't go yet, I have
something to eat, and you shall stay and eat with me: Don't be uneasie
_John_, for I'll pay you well for your time. Presently up comes the Drawer
and brings a _Lobster_ and a Piece of _Sturgeon_, with him; then bidding
the Drawer bring a Quart of _Canary_ up, she ask'd _John_ whether he lov'd
_Lobster_ and _Sturgeon_? Yes, very well, Madam, reply'd _John_, but they
are too good for my common Eating. After the other Quart of _Canary_ was
brought up, and the Drawer gone down, she bid _John_ come nearer and sit
down; and at last having both eat and drank Plentifully, she pull'd _John_
close to her, and told him he look'd like a clever well-made Fellow, and

Gentlewoman and so dogg'd her home to her own House, which happen'd to be
at a _Woollen-Drapers_ in St. _Paul's Church-Yard_. Having thus seen her at
her own House they left her, and went to their own Lodgings.

The next Morning they went into _Paul's Church-Yard_ to make the Lady a
visit, but past many times to & fro before the Door, but cou'd'nt get a
